Congratulations to all our SA award-winning entrants in this year\u2019s State Architecture Awards program.\u00a0Recipients of Named Awards and Architecture Awards will now be eligible for consideration in the National Awards later in the year.\u00a0 South Australia has had recent success on the national stage and I am optimistic that this success will continue this year.<\/p>\n
The primary purpose of the annual Awards Program is to recognise the best completed projects.\u00a0It is our profession\u2019s opportunity to celebrate our members\u2019 achievements and to raise awareness of architecture in our community.\u00a0While awards are given to individuals and practices we must remember that the production of architecture is a complex business relying on teamwork, collaboration and the input of many individuals.<\/p>\n
To produce works of excellence requires extraordinary tenacity, thoroughness, talent, experience and boundless energy.\u00a0And we should never underestimate the role of our clients.\u00a0The most successful projects invariably have clients with vision and a commitment to quality outcomes.<\/p>\n
On behalf of the SA Chapter, I wish to extend a vote of gratitude to all who have made the Architecture Awards program and the celebration of architecture dinner on Friday night.\u00a0Firstly to all our Sponsors, of which their importance of whom cannot be underestimated.<\/p>\n
I would also like to thank\u00a0the Awards Director Peter Dungey, which is a complex job ably supported by\u00a0Deputy Awards Director David Brown, and to\u00a0all our jury members, specialist advisors and guest jurors. The\u00a0Awards Taskforce Chair Dino Vrynios and his team\u00a0Lu Balsamo, Scott Meek, Alison McFadyen and Emma Wood who assist the Chapter staff to plan and deliver the Awards Night dinner.\u00a0Awards Manager Kara Growden and\u00a0State Manager Richard Hosking and our great Institute team Sally Bolton, Rebecca Duddy and Ima Hadj Shirmohammadi.<\/p>\n
And last \u2026 but not least I must thank the Chapter Councillors for their support, dedication and creative input throughout the last year.<\/p>\n
